Actually, the one's on Pawnee are still being used. The I&M railroad takes coal cars to the Kincaid power plant, which means they have to go through Pawnee. The only part of the line that is not used currently is from Kincaid to Taylorville. :Smile:

I'll repost the ones from Arizona again...

Baseline Rd. in Buckeye, AZ: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 6319612699

Salome Highway in Buckeye, AZ: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 0218308126

And here's another one: Image

Unfortunately this one is way too far for me to get. It is near Rillito, AZ right off of Interstate 10. It's a frontage road. It gets 2 switching trains per day.

Now those 12"x24" lights I can handle, because they have the aluminium backgrounds and visors. I don't care for the plastic ones at all... :TUP2:

You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

Well there are also the ones on Hunziker Street in Tigard but that crossing hasn't seen a train in years so I doubt that qualifies as 'active'. :CloseEye:
